§ 3.70.160. Binding arbitration.

Binding arbitration of disputes which arise under a collective bargaining agreement during the term of any collective bargaining agreement will be permitted if the parties have agreed to that procedure for dispute resolution and have included within the agreement a clause providing for that procedure. The decision of the arbitrator shall be reduced to writing unless waived by the parties and shall be final and binding upon the parties. If an unfair labor practice charge addressing the same or related matters is filed with the employee relations board and was deferred to arbitration by the board, the board shall retain jurisdiction to hear any outstanding issues not resolved by the arbitrator.
